rolling enlightening music discussion thread

skilfully eliding the next post

Kyuss pales in comparison to a lot of the bands listed here. Finding a groove, turning up to 11 then moving on to listen to rush Limbaugh or Sean hannity or whatever the fuck that idiot is into is not my idea of a great band.

"Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones is pretty misogynistic.

Do you have eclectic taste in music?

i can only imagine

yeah, no one is making lists or arguing about ratings

lists of eclectic formats

old music vs new music was a tedious, played out discussion even for 2007 ilm, thank god it's been parlayed into a debate about formats

lol i am a little embarrassed to have participated but what else are you gonna do when you are procrastinating at work

between that and the uncut list thread it has been pretty dire since the year-end critics shit ended

Possibly I'm just grumpy

I'm not actually one of those people who dislikes ilm although I rarely post there but yeah it's been particularly groundhogdaysuicide.gif lately (don't forget the eclectic thread)

yes, the year-end critics thread was highly enlightening

really hate the british list threads that devolve into amateur sociology. sorry brits.

there was supposed to be a comma there. sorry, brits

If I had access to a time machine, I'd go back to 1994 all and play 'em something like, I dunno, the recent Bloc Party record or The 1975 or a recent Coldplay record and be all like: "This is what is going to happen to music", and the people of 1994 would be like "FUCK! FUCK! NO! We must do what we can to ensure this NEVER happens!"

"I hate those fucking trumpets blasting like they are about to explode. Norteño music is garbage."

I've heard half of those Norman Records list... some of them are really good and glad they're giving deserved attention to some ignored records but there's also some boring ones in there. At any rate these sort of 'non-zeigeist' lists are always better than the consensus ones. Yeah we all love Lemonade but I prefer finding out about records I might have overlooked instead of the ones we've talked about all year.

#3.Luau - o.k.

the rest of the album is a dud for me.

(re: yank crime)

"It's Nice to Have a Friend" is the most interesting track, IMO. How would you describe that musical setting? It's evoking or imitating, what, a certain style of Chinese music?

lol is it in pentatonic scale?

Certainly that is what one would assume
